Hermitage Precinct Flex officers conducted a truancy sweep of Antioch High School Thursday.
Officers charged seven Antioch students with loitering during school hours for attempting to leave the campus while school was in session.
In addition to the truancy charges, a traffic stop near the school resulted in the arrest of a convicted felon with a gun. Officers stopped the driver, Adolfo Isaza, 26, of Neese Drive, for a window tint violation. As officers approached the car, they saw a pistol which had been stolen, on the rear floorboard. Isaza is charged with felon in possession of a handgun, theft, and driving on a suspended license. He is being held in lieu of $12,000 bond.
During the truancy initiative, officers in two unmarked vehicles watched for students who appeared to be skipping school. Uniformed officers then made investigative stops of those who appeared to be in violation.
The truancy operation is the latest in an on-going effort between the police department, Juvenile Court, and school officials to see that students are in school and remain there until dismissal.
